nection with those of our own mamifact ure, we now offer a list of

Rock (or endless seam) ball, whdch. was tised and endorsed by all the 
leading clubs throughout the country the past season. Its merits are 
£lasticity, Endless-seam, (which, will stand the severest batting with- 
out ripping,) and beauty of finish. Also, we have been ap- 
pointed special agents for the sale of tbe celebrated John Yan 
Horn Kegulation Base Ball, which we supply to dealers and clnba 
at his lowest price.

The apparatus is supported by two 
strong screw hooks in the ceiling, about 
eighteen inches apart, and screwed five 
inches into the joist. It can also be used 
out of doors by erecting a frame-work, 
such as is used for swings. The straps 
are of the strongest linen, handsomely 
colored. The rings are of the patent 
bent wood, about nine inches in diam- 
eter. By an ingenious device the rings 
and stirrups can be instantly raised 
or lowered to any desired height, or 
the stirrup straps removed, or the rings 
removed for the insertion of the Tra- 
peze bar. The apparatus can be put 
Tip in any room, and removed in a mo- 
ment, leaving only the two small eyes 
in the ceiling visible. It can be used 
in different rooms at pleasure, by hav- 
ing extra sets of hooks for the ceiling. 
A space six or eight feet wide is ample 
for any of the exercises. Four large sheets containing over one 
hundred cuts of the exercises, and a pamphlet explaining how each 
is performed, is supplied with each apparatus. 

The number and variety of exercises to which it is adapted is 
truly wonderful ; the union of the stirrup and rings allows an ex- 
tensive multiplication of the direction and manner of muscular 
exertion; and by it a greater number of exercises is afforded than 
by all other gymnastic appliances combined. The anatomist, on a 
careful examination of these movements will perceive that every 
joint and muscle of the body is exercised, under healthful conditions. 
A most important feature in this system is its attractiveness, 
through this great variety, and the gradual increase of strength and 
ability to accomplish the more advanced exercises. 

To clergymen, literary men, and all persons of sedentary occupa- 
tions, it is particularly adapted. The exercises are especially iuvig- 
orating to the digestive and respiratory organs. 
=^To invalids and persons of delicate health it is a great boon. 
The feeble are constantly advised to take exercise ; but the difficulty 
is to find an easy means of doing so. This Gymnasium supplies 
this desideratum. It is also of great value in creating the necessary 
reaction after a bath. 




The Trapeze does not form a part of the "Home 
Gymnasium," but is supplementary to it, and is intended 
for those who desire a greater variety of the more diffi- 
cult exercises. In using the Trapeze har the rings 
are removed, and the bar placed in the upper strap. 
A sheet of illustrations of the exercises accompany 
the bar, the explanations of which will be found on 
page 29. 

THE s-w^iisrca-- 




The child's swing consists merely of a seat, which can be easily 
constructed to fit into the stirrups. This we also supply when de- 
sired, neatly cushioned, and so fitted to the stirrups that it can be 
instantly removed when desired. 



In a letter from Dio Lewis, he says : 

"Mr. Bacon's Home Gymnasium is a real stroke of mechanical geniua, simple? 
not liable to get out of repair, and in every way perfect. I congratulate the 
public and Mr. Bacon upon this important contribution to our means of Physi- 
cal Culture. It is undoubtedly the ^Dest apparatus ever devised for home use. 
It is adapted to the clergyman's study, to the parlor) and, indeed, to any and all 
homes."
